Rebound pressure

Post by rudolf »

I’ve got a question about the rear suspension of my Kawasaki KR1S. I’m new on this forum, and I’m a Dutchman so I’ll start by apologize for my bad English :P. The rebound of the rear shock of my KR1S is very soft and I can’t set it any harder with the adjusting screw on the gas bottle. I’ve measured the pressure inside the bottle and it was only 14,5 psi. Does anybody know how much pressure there must be in the bottle??


By bottle i mean this thing :mrgreen:

it's quite normal that you can't adjust the rebound on "the bottle" since that is for the compression damping.
the rebound is adjusted at the bottom of the shock :idea:

on the home page, you can download the manual :idea:

of in't nederlands : bovenaan op manual klikken : daar staat alles in :D

welkom bij de weg.

AHH!!! Finally I was looking for a KR1s manual but I could only find one of a KR1. Thanks for your help, as soon as I get my new pistons all drive to the nearest nitrogen filling station. :D
